The 2015 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is such a classy wine. Scents of orange peel, hazelnut, dried flowers, chamomile and lightly burnt sugar all grace this exquisite Vin Santo from Fèlsina. It is one of the most refined Vin Santos readers will come across and a true archetype.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Pouring forth from a 375-milliliter bottle, the Fèlsina 2015 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico shows a dark amber color with shiny golden highlights. The wine is smooth and creamy in texture but not too viscous. In fact, it falls smoothly over the palate, imparting candied fruit, honey, almond and marron glacé along the way. This sunny vintage gives us a more accessible taste of one Italy's most prestigious dessert wines.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Aromas of dried apricot and whole grain biscuits supported by some subtle butterscotch undertones. A creamy texture runs through the palate, with crisp acidity that balances out the sweetness.-James Suckling
